Captured Heart by Heather McCollum follows Meg Boswell, a young healer marked as a witch, as she escapes north through a harsh medieval winter with only her bow, her horse, her mother’s mysterious medical journal, and a fiercely loyal wolf. Hunted by the man who condemned her mother to the flames, Meg’s forbidden magic makes every encounter dangerous. In the Scottish Highlands, war-weary clan chief Caden Macbain seizes Meg as a bargaining tool in his struggle to keep his people alive, intending to trade her for peace. When Meg’s powers and choices alter the fate of his clan, Caden is forced to weigh loyalty, survival, and an unexpected bond that grows amid conflict, superstition, and paranormal threat.
